USA Hockey and the Atlantic District announced that additional space has been made available for the 2004 District Officiating Seminar at Lawrenceville, NJ. The seminar will begin on Friday, August 27 at 8:00am and conclude at noon on Sunday, August 29. There is a $50 fee payable to USA Hockey for participation in the District Officiating Seminar.

The District Officiating Seminar gives Level 2, 3, and 4 officials who are 18 years of age or older an opportunity to get the kind of intense training that officials who are selected to attend the USA Hockey Regional Development Camp receive. Members of the USA Hockey Officiating Program National Training Staff will be the primary instructors.

This seminar satisfies annual seminar attendance requirements for Level 2 and 3 officials. If you are a Level 4 official, you are welcomed to attend the District Officiating Seminar, but you must also attend a Level 4 seminar in the Atlantic District or elsewhere.

In order to attend the District Officiating Seminar, you must download and fill out the District Officiating Seminar application, and follow the included instructions. This application is in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. If you do not have an Adobe Acrobat reader, you can download it from Adobe's web site.
